standard boost on rb20det

[lowlux]

ok heres another question, if the stock boost is sposed to be 7psi,then if i put a exaust on it,will it creep higher without me doin anything, reason i ask is i wanna up the boost a little,to around 11-12psi,for high boost but when i drive around normally it sometimes reaches 10psi then drops back down to around 7psi, will setting the boost at 12psi be any difference? and is it really safe?

ive got 3" exaust,stock cooler,and pod filter and i always run it on optimax

[hawks]

i have a 3" exh and cutout airbox and my car peaks at about 12.5 psi, with no other mods. it runs fine on optimax or premium.

[lowlux]

well i got one of those digital air/fuel ratio things so ill put that in be4 i fiddle with the boost,that should help me out without damageing anything

[meggala]

with fmic exhaust and pod mine ran 10 psi with the rb25 t it was only running 6 or 7 so I fitted a bleed to put it up to 10. nad its rock solid I run the bleed fromt the cooler pipe though

With the boost bleed std boost was 12psi but for some reason with the EBC it is 10.6psi.?!?!?!

I'm guessing it was the restrictor type setup that was put in the bleed that I wasn't aware of.

Well according to the hand controller it is 10.6psi.

Could it be wrong?

The +7 line on the guage in the dash is supposed to be 13.5psi. when I set the ebc to 15psi the needle just starts to nudge over it.

[adam 32]

are you serious the +7 is supposed to be 13.5psi?!?!?!

cos ive got a bleeder set to 13psi and its always maxing out the std guage but reading 0.9bar on the HKS one.....

however one thing ive learnt is not to rely on std guages so ill stick to reading the mechanical one i think...

[Cubes]

Thats right the +7 is supposed to be 13.5psi.

Be wary of the HKS one if it is maxing out the std guage..

Check it with another one.

You wouldn't want to do another motor would you adam

[adam 32]

yeh thats true!

next time its dynoed might get them to hook it up to the master guage.... seems alright though, AFs are fine:P

and RB20 is only $1000:D

And who said eeekkk.. Import cars are expensive to repair buy a ford/holden.

My old man..

Funny thing is even if they were more expensive to repair I had a diff die in the VS V8 Manual at 90,000kms, a gearbox around the same time and the rear IRS chassis cracked where the diff is bolted on and the arse end dropped to the ground with the bumper touching the cement. :confused:

ok so thats $1200 for the g/box (which was still rattled after rebuilt), $1000 for the diff, $1700 to repair the chassis.

and that was with only 140rwkw. Imagine trying to put more power through it.

This all happened after about 9 months of owning the car. :burnout:

I've owned the R32 GTS-T now for a year or so and nothing has broke or damaged.

When i first got mine, I had no idea cause the standard gauge is really hard to read accuratlly. So i went and bought an Auto meter gauge.

I had 6psi standard. Then i spent al @@#$ load of money and now i can run 17psi. I can also go higher, but my gauge only goes to 20. So i call 17psi enough in dry conditions... LOL

I usually run 8 or 10 psi daily....

Then i pump it up to 15-17psi for dyno/circuit racing...

[steve_R32]

Well I put a speco boost guage in my 32....Its completely stock bar an Apexi air filter.......Guage reads 10psi full boost.

Its stock .

I dunno?

Steve R32..

That's normal man..

When I got my car it only had a Pod filter as a mod and my autometer boost guage showed 10psi..

Now I got a front mount and it is still the same..

Once I get the exhaust done, I am expecting that the boost will go up 1 - 2 psi..

[steve_R32]

Ahh cool, Thanks GTST I wasn't sure about it, thought it was a little high, but all is good

[Cubes]

I was peaking 10psi on the dyno but it wouldn't stay there, it would settle around 8psi when she was dead stock.

It made 115rwkw dead stock on RPMS Dyno. & with the fuel pressure bleed it made 125rwkw but i was running BP Premium (95 RON) and if Tim advanced it any more it would ping

With timing & good fuel it should have made 130rwkw.

Exhaust a little bit of timing & fuel tune it made 152rwkw @ 12psi.

Then with 12psi still up top it made 156rwkw with alot more timing (25deg) and no pinging.
